Formula used

- Taxable income = Gross salary - standard deduction - HRA exemption in old regime - professional tax in old regime - eligible old-regime deductions (minimum zero).
- Income tax = slab tax - Section 87A rebate + 4% cess on tax after rebate.
- Monthly in-hand = (Gross salary - Employee PF - Professional Tax - Income Tax - other payroll deductions) / 12.
Quick answers
India CTC to In-Hand Salary Calculator FAQs
How is in-hand salary calculated from CTC in India?
In-hand salary is estimated by removing employer-side CTC components such as employer PF and gratuity, then subtracting employee PF, professional tax, income tax, and other deductions from gross salary.
Does the India CTC calculator compare old and new tax regime?
Yes. The calculator can show old and new regime estimates using the inputs shown on the page. Old-regime benefits such as HRA exemption and deductions apply only when entered.
Why is my monthly salary lower than CTC divided by 12?
CTC may include employer PF, gratuity, variable pay, insurance, reimbursements, and benefits that are not paid as fixed monthly take-home salary.
Is standard deduction included in the salary tax estimate?
Yes, the salary tax estimate uses the standard deduction where applicable for salary income. The result is still an estimate and may differ from payroll or your final tax filing.
Can I change PF deduction in the calculator?
Yes. You can compare capped PF, full 12% of basic salary, or a custom PF amount depending on your employer policy.

Assumptions
- Default detailed structure uses 45% basic salary and HRA at 40% of basic salary.
- PF defaults to effective-dated capped contributions for the selected tax year. Detailed inputs support calculated statutory wages, membership and custom payroll values.
- Gratuity is included by default as a simplified 4.81% of annual basic CTC provision, not a guaranteed settlement payout. Enter the actual offer-letter provision where available.
- Variable pay is part of CTC, but only the selected payout percentage is counted in in-hand salary.
- Professional tax is estimated from the selected state.
- Old regime HRA and deduction benefits apply only when shown in the calculator inputs.
